INTRODUCTION The period covered by this thesis dates from the discovery and first settlement of the Ipswich district in 1827 to the time of the mid-1870's. It was in this early period that Ipswich exerted a great deal of influence on colonial affairs, and often, by successful political manoeuvres, was able to enhance the economic and social well-being of the town. chapter 1. ' • DISCOVERY AND ESTABLISHMENT The first reference to the discovery and exploration of the Ipswich area appears in the journal of Captain Logan, dated 7th June 1827 : "Left the settlement (Brisbane) at four o'clock in the morning, proceeded up the Brisbane, and arrived at the limestone hills, on the left branch, at ten o'clock at night; distance 57 miles." (1) An assistant to Logan, the famous explorer Cunningham, was the first to prophesy the future importance of the district, and in his journal (11th July 1828) he said "It is therefore highly probable that upon the site of these Limestone Hills a town will one day be raised." (2) Cunningham commented further on the significance of the Bremer River, a tributary of the Brisbane, as a means of navigation.

    435 Ipswich in the Eighteen Fifties

    435 IPSWICH IN THE EIGHTEEN FIFTIES (Read by Mrs. K. T. Cameron on 26 May 1960.) This paper was read to the Society by Mr. A. G. Davies in July 1941, but as it was not published previously, it has been read again to enable publication this year. Much of the material is drawn from personal reminiscences of Thomas Mathewson. A previous paper, "Personal Reminis­ cences of '53," by Thomas Mathewson, is published in the Society's Journal, Vol. I, pp. 95-98. To those of the present generation who are genuinely interested in Queensland's early history the rivalry between Brisbane and Ipswich always will be regarded as a phase of outstanding interest. In June 1827, Captain Logan, travelling by boat up the river, reached the Limestone Hills and made a partial explora­ tion of the surroundings. But, nearly two years before, that, Allan Cunningham, the botanist and explorer, in a despatch to Governor Darling, had declared it highly probable "that upon the site of these Limestone Hills a town will one day be raised." A convict post was established there and George Thorn, sen.,^ who was placed in charge of it, actually was the pioneer free settler in Ipswich. He was elected a member of the first Parliament of Queensland, which met in May 1860. His son, George Thorn, jun., followed in the paternal foot­ steps, entering the Legislative Assembly in 1867 as one of the three members for West Moreton. A few years later political exigencies led to his attaining the Premiership; but a Cabinet reconstruction nine months later left him in comparative obscurity.

    Founding Families of Ipswich Pre 1900: A-E

    Founding Families of Ipswich Pre 1900: A-E Name Arrival date Biographical Details Abell, Thomas 1869 (Moreton Bay) Thomas Abell brought his young family to Queensland in 1869, on board the “Young Australia.” The first home of the new settlers was at Redbank Plains, where the Abell's helped to plant, cultivate and pack cotton. Under the Homestead Acts of 1868, Mr Abell, Senior, took up 80 acres of scrub land near Roadvale. In the meantime, young William turned his attention to learning the coachmaking trade, first with N. McNicol, and later in Ipswich. Having thoroughly mastered this craft, he set up business as a wheelwright and coachmaker on Coulson Road, and there for 20 years carried on his trade in association with farming. Ackerley, William Howarth B. 1838. Arrived in Victoria in 1857 and settled at Riverview in 1868 to follow a pastoralist’s life and he is there looked upon as a leading man in his district. William was the first chairman of the Purga Divisional Bench, was a member of the Licensing Board, a Returning Officer for the Bundamba Electorate, and a magistrate for the authorisation of marriage of minors for West Moreton. Alford, Charles 1857 B. August 1820. D. March 1899. Lived at Bundanba. Occupation: Labourer. Anderson, David Emigrated to Australia in 1863 and settled at Goodna. In 1888 he was elected as a member of the Purga Divisional Board. Aspinall, John Squire 1869 (Gympie) B. 01.12.1869 in Gympie.

    18o /,' :• { ^ V. LIBRARY Notes on the Political History of^^^ Queensland—1859-1917. CHARLES A, BERNAYS, Clerk-Assistant and Scrgeant-at-Arms, Legislative Assembly. WHEN asked by the Historical Society to contribute a paper on the Political History of Queensland I already had in view the amplification of an article written by me in August, 1909, for the Jubilee number of the "Queenslander," Owing to the necessity for economising space, there was not much opportunity then of doing justice to a subject which is of interest to a considerable section of the community. It is hoped that this paper may serve the dual purpose of interesting honourable members of the Legislature and forming an historical basis upon which others can build at a later date. The work has been much more laborious and has involved more research than would appear at first sight, and on that account, and because it was undertaken during the Parliamentary session, I feel justified in asking for tolerant criticism. This paper is intended to be, and I hope will be, a dispassionate review of Queensland's chief political events, and of the principal men who have devoted their energies to the government of this part of Australia. I have been too long a servant of Parliament not to recognise the importance of the strictest impartiality. The whole of that vast territory north of Point Danger and formerly attached to New South "Wales, representing an area of 668,497 square miles, or ten times that of England and Wales, was erected into a separate colony under the designation of "Queen.sland" on the 10th December, 1859, and many of you will know that prior to Federation the anniversary of separation was probably our chief public holiday.

The Act established the Supreme Court of New South Wales and created the Legislative Council.
